"ARNHEM... FOUR DAYS INTO THE BATTLE" |
|
By Wednesday 20 September 1944, Lieut.Colonel John Frost and the men of 2 Para had held the northern end of the Arnhem bridge for four long bloody days… With no resupply of food, water or ammunition and no reinforcements the already precarious military situation was getting steadily worse…Still however the British paratroopers fought on… This desperate 4-day struggle is the point in the battle that King & Country has chosen to portray with our first six “Pathfinder” releases. During a brief lull in the fighting our tired but still defiant warriors take stock of their situation…A young officer observes an enemy position…the Battalion’s second-in-command sits and studies his map while in contact with one of his units…Another para even brews up some hot tea. |
